+atari2600land Posted May 5, 2007 Share Posted May 5, 2007 Here's what I got for $50: Lynx system (with instruction manual & carrying case) Toki Baseball Heroes (with manual) California Games (with manual) Now all I need is some more games. I'll be posting in the Wanted forum very soon. I think $50 is good, seeing as how this is the first time I ever saw a Lynx anywhere and I don't want to hassle buying a whole system over the Internet (might break, who knows?) Games yes, the Lynx itself, no. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cobra Kai Posted May 7, 2007 Share Posted May 7, 2007 (edited) I can share a story right now. I have them going all the way back to the launch of the Lynx. I've always owned one, but just recently I've decided to collect for it more 'hardcore' so to speak. This story is from 1990 I think: When I was 15, I owned a Puch Moped as my means of transportation. I lived in a small town called in northern Indiana called Goshen, which is about 30 miles from South Bend, or basically what was the only real city with true video game stores I had access to. Dead of Winter, I put on my leather coat, plus my ATV helmet (I looked like a complete jackass) and made the over 1 hour trip to Toys R Us in Mishawaka/South Bend on my little Puch, freezing my ass off to buy a Lynx console, Checkered Flag and Warbirds. Wait, I almost forgot to mention I wasn't alone in my journey. No, my best friend at the time rode with me on his own Puch moped! Yes, that's right, two 15 year olds riding mopeds in below freezing weather, 30 miles each direction to both buy Lynx's, and the same two games. So, we strapped the gear to the back of our 'bikes' with bungee cords, and made the long 1+ hour adventure back home to Goshen, with a top speed of about 42 mph if the wind was at our backs and we crouched down a little bit. All on a school night. It was worth it. Edited May 7, 2007 by Gunstarhero Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

V.R Posted May 16, 2007 Share Posted May 16, 2007 I just got Chip's Challenge today. I remember playing this on Windows. It was a long time ago, back when I was a kid!

EricDeLee Posted May 16, 2007 Share Posted May 16, 2007 I just got Chip's Challenge today. I remember playing this on Windows. It was a long time ago, back when I was a kid! Its a great game, can get really though. Sometimes makes me want to throw my lynx in frustration. If you can grab it, I'd say grab a copy of Desert Strike. Very good game that keeps you busy. I think it is a very good game for the Lynx in playability. I haven't spent enough time with it to beat it, or anything like that, but I've enjoyed it nonetheless. So if you played it before on Sega, you'll enjoy it again on the Lynx. Chip Challenge is a great game as well. A great puzzle game that is fairly cheap. Cali. Games is pretty good as well. I'm not a huge fan of it, but it is still pretty nice to have. I have a few flat carts of it as well if someone still needs one. I'll take a look at any extras I may have.... and post them sometime. I am still looking for a few regular releases and different cart types as well (Gates of Zendocon... curved and ridged.... Krazy Ace, Super Asteroids/Missile Command) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frenchcat Posted May 20, 2007 Share Posted May 20, 2007 I think i would prefer playing it on my sega nomad ! (yes, the one i have sell on ebay :-/) But only for collection, i would be happy to find a lynx version (hard thing, need to be lucky!)
